 The aim of this center is to study cancer-related disparities in and around Prince George's County, Maryland. Using a community based participatory research approach, CHAMP works with community partners largely in faith-based communities to increase early detection of breast, prostate, and colorectal screening. CHAMP is supported by agencies such as the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society.  

 Established in 2010, the goal of the Johns Hopkins Center to Reduce Cancer Disparities (CRCD) is to figure out the best way to give all Maryland communities equal access to cancer prevention and treatment services through research, community outreach and training. The Center works to eliminate the differences in cancer prevention, care and survivorship, known as cancer disparities, between minorities and other groups. Our community partners play an important role in our work by helping us make decisions about our research and other activities and on how to engage the community. The Center also focuses on reaching out to communities, especially underserved communities to provide education and training.
